Lightweight fall protection

July 4, 2013

The new Miller AirCore Harness from Honeywell Safety Products, combines comfort features with functional components. This lightweight full-body harness is designed with breathable, open-core padding technology that provides optimal airflow, while reducing heat and moisture entrapment — keeping a worker drier and cooler, the company said. The patented Miller DuraFlex stretchable webbing provides greater flexibility and increased comfort. The unique cam buckles on the shoulder straps make vertical webbing adjustment very easy, the company said. A new webbing design creates an original and vibrant style for easy identification and greater visibility. Research has found that a comfortable harness is more likely to be worn properly, increasing compliance, safety and productivity, Honeywell said. The Miller AirCore Harness’s contoured design minimizes contact around the neck, lower back and inner thighs, reducing chafing and irritation. The product has a capacity of up to 400 lbs. and meets all applicable OSHA, ANSI and CSA standard requirements. www.millerfallprotection.com
